Calories: 147kcal
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar loosely packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg large
- 1 egg yolk from a large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups oatmeal I prefer old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl, and cream together on medium-high speed for a FULL 5 minutes, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula as needed.
- Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula, then stir in the peanut butter, egg, and egg yolk until incorporated.
- Add the flour, oats, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, and mix together on low speed until just barely combined.
- Scoop 1.5-tablespoons balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing flat and allowing about 2 to 3 inches in between (for spreading).
- Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until just barely beginning to turn golden around the edges (the cookies will still look quite wet towards the centers).
- Allow to cool fully on the baking sheet.
